Park Road Post Production Partners with Digital Anarchy and Uses Beauty Box on Features, Commercials, and Music Videos

Digital Anarchy is pleased to announce they have provided Park Road Post Production a customized solution for Nuke based on Digital Anarchy's Beauty Box Video technology, the industry leading solution for skin and beauty retouching in film, 4K and HD video. Park Road will be using Nuke and Beauty Box Video for retouching work on features, commercials, and music videos. The customized solution allows Beauty Box to fit seamlessly into Park Road's workflow. This makes it easier for the visual effects artists to do the work and speeds up rendering times by optimizing Beauty Box for their render pipeline.

“Beauty Box has been very beneficial to our pipeline, and has helped further improve the quality of the work we can provide and the timeframes we can turn shots around in. The Digital Anarchy support team has been fantastic to work with as we got Beauty Box up and running with Nuke and linux.”, said Darwin Go, VFX Supervisor, Park Road Post Production

Beauty Box Video is the award winning technology for automatically removing wrinkles, blemishes, and other skin and makeup problems. It creates high quality digital makeup, reducing skin problems while maintaining a realistic skin texture. 4K and HD video show so much detail that it can be critical to reduce the detail shown on talent's face and other skin areas. It's crucial that the skin texture is maintained so that parts of the face, like eyes and hair, that are in razor sharp focus don't look strange next to blurry skin. Beauty Box excels at dramatically improving the skin but doing so in a natural way.

"We were honored that Park Road felt Beauty Box produced such high quality results that it was a critical part of the work they do.", said Digital Anarchy's President Jim Tierney. "While there are many facilities and studios that have site licenses of Beauty Box, this was the first time we've done custom development for a studio to fully integrate it into their workflow. It was exciting to work so closely with Park Road, one of the premier post production facilities in the world, and create a solution for them that will help them to continue producing award winning work."
